In this camp, teens will embellish, transform, and construct functional art to be used or worn. We’ll learn some basics about fabric dyeing, printing, and machine sewing to create a zippered pencil pouch. Later, guest artists will guide teens through the process of hat painting and creating wearable cyanotypes! Time permitting (sorry, pun is intended) we’ll take an afternoon to design and assemble our own analog clocks. Finally, we’ll plan the designs for our own wooden campfire chairs (Viking chairs), which will be built from scratch or modified and embellished, depending on the participants maturity and ability to use tools safely. (Assessed and determined by WKMA staff). Additional mini projects in clay or printmaking may be included in the mix as we find the pace that works best for the group.
This camp is ideal for the teen eager to learn new tools and sharpen their skills in textiles/sewing, ceramics, and woodworking, as well as use rulers and basic math. It’s the camp where you get to brag, “Yeah, I made that and this is how it works.”
